What problem does it solve?
This skill helps developers quickly evaluate local MLX models against frontier gateways to determine the best route for a workload, enabling private, low-cost inference on Apple Silicon while comparing against hosted options.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Side-by-side local-vs-frontier evaluation: serve two MLX models (local and frontier-backed) to compare latency, cost, and quality on the same workload.
- Hardware & runtime gating: verify Apple Silicon availability, unified memory, and the correct MLX runtime before running evaluations.
- Route decision traceability: produce a clear decision output detailing which path won, model tier used, and artifacts/logs for reproducibility.
Quick Start
Start the two-server arena to run a side-by-side local MLX model and a frontier gateway for head-to-head comparison.
